Other Administrative Billable Time
While Quality Improvement time is perhaps the most common administrative billable time, there are others. For example, implementing a new type of service that is required by the State often comes with one or more billable administrative activities. To document this time, use the same steps as above, but use the appropriate Appointment Type. As more of these arise, CalMHSA will add to this global code. If there are options that your county specifically needs to track, such as reporting related to a county-specific grant, your system administrator can also add to this global code.
Reporting This Time to the State
By entering this information on your calendar, your county will be able to run reports to pull this information. Information on how to run these reports and/or how to create these reports can be found on the Reports page. All this billable administrative time will also show as productive time on the Staff Service Detail report.
